A life-changing guide to achieving your goals, by the 2013
NCAA champion college basketball coach and #1 New York Times
bestselling author.
Rick Pitino is famous as
one of the most dynamic and successful basketball coaches of
our time, leading the University of Louisville Cardinals to
the NCAA basketball championship in 2013, and is renowned
for writing the #1 New York Times bestselling success
and leadership book, Success is a Choice.
In
his new book, The One-Day Contract, Pitino details
his key to success, on the court and in life: to focus on
making the most of each day, by creating a contract with
yourself. Coach Pitino was able to turn Louisville into NCAA
champions by applying this idea to everything he and the
team did—every practice, every recruiting visit, every game
preparation, every scouting report, every instruction that
he gave players and coaches, and everything he did himself.
Each day became just as important as reaching the national
championship, and so, by honoring the one-day contract, he
and Louisville moved through adversity toward their
goal.
In this inspiring and practical guide, Coach
Rick Pitino illustrates how to set your own one-day
contract, and follow through to honor it for each day, each
goal, and each interaction with another person. Pitino shows
how to:
Establish focus as a discipline in
everything you do: planning, strategy, priorities, and
career advancement.
Discover the true key to
success: not ambition, not wealth, not power, but
humility.
Use technology wisely—but don't let it
replace personal connection with the people you work and
live with.
Own up to your problems, tell the truth
and they will become part of your past. Lie and they become
part of your future.
Make small changes and add
value to every minute of your life.
The
One-Day Contract will reshape the way you approach your
job, your goals, and your life.
